Step into the Middle Ages - another incredible place (incidentally, the film set of the movie “Chocolat” with Johnny Depp)

Wonderful location on the Burgundy Canal, a welcoming hub for hikers, cyclists, and boaters. Rooms, a small restaurant with a bar and restaurant, and a small grocery store for basic needs. And Christel and Gérald are two warm hosts. We loved our stay there. maison-du-canal.fr

A wonderful location on the Canal de Bourgogne, a welcoming hub for hikers, cyclists, and boaters. Rooms, a small restaurant with a bar and restaurant, and a small grocery store for basic needs. And Christel and Gérald are two welcoming hosts. For long-distance hikers on the Sentier Bibracte, Alésia is a good stopover, even if it's a bit off the beaten track—the detour is worth it! https://www.maison-du-canal.fr/

A lovely little stopover along the Canal, not far from Vitteaux. Head to the little bistro (red sign), where you'll eat like kings for next to nothing.
